CliffordG. Shull, Neutron Diffraction, Hydrogen Atoms, and Neutron Scattering
CliffordG. Shull was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the development of the neutron diffraction technique".
Professor Shull came to MIT as a full professor in 1955 and retired in 1986, though he continued to visit and to "look over the shoulders" of students doing experiments in the "remnants of my old research laboratory."...
CliffordG. Shull, the NYU alumnus who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994 for his work with neutrons, died on Saturday, March 31 in Medford, Mass.
Shull was honored with the Nobel Prize for developing a technique to probe the molecular structure of materials by bouncing neutrons off them.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1915, Shull was educated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and New York University, from which he received his doctorate in physics in 1941.
